Mark 4:12 CPDV

¹⁰  And when he was alone, the twelve, who were with him, questioned him about the parable.

¹¹  And he said to them: 'To you, it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God. But to those who are outside, everything is presented in parables:

¹²  'so that, seeing, they may see, and not perceive; and hearing, they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they may be converted, and their sins would be forgiven them.'

¹³  And he said to them: 'Do you not understand this parable? And so, how will you understand all the parables?

¹⁴  He who sows, sows the word.
